Dominic Raab Urge Beijing to Allow the UN to Investigate Human Rights Issue in Xinjiang

Dominic Raab, the British Foreign Secretary, once again in a week criticised Beijing for harming human rights in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. He also urged China to allow the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to investigate the violation of the current Uyghurs human rights situation in Xinjiang.

Raab mentioned the cooperation stance between the UK and Xinjiang and expressed his opposing stance against Britain cooperating with Chinese enterprises, which exploited Xinjiang, at a BBC video interview with a political commentator Andrew Marr in Jan 17 morning local time. He mentioned that companies should not import product manufactured by forced labour in Xinjiang, ensuring that no organisation and institute from Britain would encourage violations of human rights in the area under the related policy. Raab expounded the British stance on the Xinjiang human rights issues the third time in a week, after briefing at the House of Commons last week and his conversation with Wang Yi.

Raab continued to express his concern over the issues in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. “We have joined 38 countries to criticise and to condemn the human rights violation in Xinjiang and Hong Kong. We will take actions to restrict British enterprises to profit from their supply chains in these horrifying detention camps. China accuses the west and Britain of having fabricated lies on the issues. If China wants to dispute the accusation and report, the simplest way is to allow United Nation Human Rights Commissioners to visit and investigate these places.”
